More than making cards

In the past few months, ladies from my card classes have been bringing in items to donate to Christmas hampers.  These hampers are organised by St John's Crisis Centre in Surfers Paradise to provide needy families with food for Christmas.

My customers jumped on board the idea signed up for certain items and brought them in each week.

We had lots of food items but also Christmas items such as serviettes, tablecloths and bon bons.

Once my last class had finished I gathered all the donations, sorted them and spread them out on the floor.

It was an amazing amount of goodies gathered, including Woolies/Coles gift cards.  These are greatly appreciated because it means that families can also buy some fresh food items.

Mary-Anne, customer and team member made gift card holders for them.

Last week, Blake and I loaded up the car and took the whole lot in.  We had plenty of help to unload and carry the donations in and they were greatly received.

Thanks so much to everyone who contributed items.  It was a lovely thing to come together and do.

Thanks for stopping by!
